Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® node to Version 8.0, you must create Job Control Language (JCL) jobs (CNTL and DATA datasets) that you run during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool to create a migration definition and upload the migration jobs.
This topic is about configuration migration, such as migrating deployment managers and federated nodes in a network deployment environment. The Application Migration Toolkit for WebSphere Application Server provides support for migrating applications from previous versions of WebSphere Application Server to the latest product version. For information about migrating applications, read more about the Application Migration Toolkit.
sptcfgThe z/OS Migration Management Tool itself does not perform the migration; it creates batch jobs and instructions that you can use to perform the actual migration tasks. The jobs and instructions that you generate using the z/OS Migration Management Tool form a migration definition on your workstation that you then upload to your z/OS system and use for the migration.
In WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8.0, you can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool and the jobs as well as instructions that it generates to migrate to Version 8.0 nodes. After you actually migrate a node, however, you must use the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8.0 administrative console or scripting to administer it.
